Modern Warfare 3 to be banned in the UK?

4.3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Reveal Trailer, which shows scenes of terrorism on the London Underground, is reported to have led to calls for the game to be banned, reports the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail is comparing the London Underground scenes to the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London, with those affected unhappy about the likeness found in Activision's guaranteed smash hit.

Vivienne Pattison of Mediawatch UK has "concerns" because "these games are hyper-real," adding MW3 "is in incredibly poor taste".

This isn't the first time Call of Duty has skirted with controversy. Modern Warfare 2 was heavily criticised by some for its No Russian level, which allowed players to shoot civilians at an airport while taking on the role of a terrorist.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be released worldwide on November 8.

Rowdyzorz Below this line is a **** ton of stereo-typical bullshit which if you posted it, you are retarded.

Also go call the germans butthurt, they banned World at War in their country due to nazi-zombies. Oh yeah, if you could read you'd see that we're not banning it, it was suggessted by less than 1000 readers of "The Daily Mail" who are all ready massive ****.

TTG_Wiz4rd Banning makes no sense! They just will get their copy from another country if it gets banned. Just like me with Gears of War 1+2 :D because its banned in Germany -.-

They won't completely ban the game, all that might happen is that there will be a different version made for the uk without the London scene. Also, all of you saying that you will just be getting it from usa, surely it will be region locked
